American schools are big. There is no need for a huge stadium, and definitely no need for a lot of parking, especially considering that it sits empty most of the time. Schools on my home country are smaller, and we have more of them, and they have zero parking. Even the expensive private schools didn't have any parking spots, the idea seems weird. Frankly American schools appear to intentionally waste space and aren't integrated into their surroundings.

I'm not a tankie, fuck Stalin, but the stat is correct: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_incarceration_rate

I don't know how well we know China's figures, though.

Also Terraria is a lot of fun and more replayable than most $70 games.

I found this video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4838DPW9ETo&pp=ygUQY3ViYW5vcyBlbiBydXNpYQ%3D%3D

And they claim they were told they would rebuild cities destroyed in the war, but not take part in it. So they were expecting to go to Ukraine, just not as soldiers.

I don't have a lot of trust in any of the parties involved in this, I'm just reporting it.

Uh, what? Most Catholics aren't circumcised, that's an American thing.

It's kind of funny how you are wrong in every way.

  • Union workers earn 20% more.
  • You shouldn't work while injured. Worker's comp is a thing.
  • You pay a dime to get a dollar.
  • It's not abuse to take sick time, but you already stated people should work injured.

Thank unions.

Thank you, that guy is so bigoted he didn't realize I was calling him out.

Maybe you're just a bigot.

Why is it shameful to be behind Namibia and Costa Rica?

I did not know the answer so I looked it up. Fiberglass is hard to recycle and it isn't done much. A lot of nuclear "waste" is actually spent fuel which can be reprocessed and used again.

Obviously it would be better to improve recycling of fiberglass but as it stands today, nuclear waste might be recycled more often than fiberglass...

Legally the output of the training could be considered a derived work. We treat brains differently here, that's all.

I think the current intellectual property system makes no sense and AI is revealing that fact.

In the US a lot of workers don't get paid if they don't show up to work because they have no paid time off.

In the US they often combine sick days and vacation days, so if you miss work while sick, you are using your vacation days, which are very limited.
